The Oklahoma City Thunder, despite leading for most of Game 1 of the NBA Finals, lost to the Indiana Pacers 111-110, with Tyrese Haliburton scoring the game-winning shot in the final seconds. Head coach Mark Daigneault emphasized the importance of Game 2, stating he is confident in his team’s readiness and that “the better team is going to win.” As 10.5-point favorites for the upcoming game, the Thunder aim to bounce back after suffering just their second home loss this postseason.
